As always, your milage may vary. I think some of us use computer harder than you may. Hopefully, if you just stick to primary programs and don’t really do much beyond that, it should be fine.

But for me, sadly, Windows is the bane of my existence every October. We use it at a local haunted house attraction for playing audio and controlling DMX lights (RS232 USB thing) and … man … so many crashes. Probably a bad USB serial driver, or crappy software, or whatever, but … let’s just say the system doesn’t handle it gracefully like a Unix would.

Totally true.

I wonder about Linux. We know Macs are rock solid because Apple controls the hardware so everything is designed and tweaked to work together.
